Re: Anyone use pepcid, Nexium, etc?
Chelee,
So good to hear from you. You might try searching for the post titled . . .
"CHELEE - how are you? Anyone know? "
We have missed hearing from you!!
Now to answer your question, I did use Nexium and it worked for me. As for the awful taste in my mouth, I found rinsing with a solution of salt and baking soda was very helpful. I mixed 1 tablespoon of both into 2 quarts of water and would swish it around like a mouthwash any time that bad taste came on. At the beginning, it was once or twice a day. Towards the end of my treatment, it was once an hour. It did make it so I could tolerate eating.
Hope this helps and again, so good to hear from you!
